The ANSI City suburbs, one of the many
places where you can build your home
and live the 8Bit Dream.

8BitMUSH is a collaborative virtual world, based upon text-based artwork (16-color
ANSI Art, 256-color FANSI Art, and colorless ASCII Art.) Every player is encouraged
to extend the world with their own creations, and explore the creations of others.
The community is very social, with a unique culture and over 10 years of history.

The virtual world is based around a colorful megatropolis called ANSI City, with
a surrounding suburbia and various other landscapes to explore and build upon. The
virtual economy allows for players to run their own companies, invest in a stock
market, and buy and sell products from various shops and vendors. Many projects
and games have been coded on 8Bit using MUSHCode, the in-game programming language,
including arcade games, toys, board games, interactive-fiction puzzles, a space
system and much more. There are also tools to create content without writing any
code, and a vibrant social community.
